We’re still amped on last week’s historic UNXD x @DolceGabbana debut NFT drop, which sold for 1,885.719 ETH, making it the most successful digital fashion drop ever. There’s much, much more to come. Here, we recap the special collectors who now join the #DGFamily. 👇
Most people judge altcoins based on “old all time highs”
Not every Altcoin will reach old all time highs.
Example: $GALA
ATH = $0.74
Current = $0.018
That’s about a 38x to ATH.
The problem? Market Cap.
If $GALA 37x’s, the valuation would be $37B… which is over half of the valuation of what Activision just sold for to Microsoft ($69B)
Is it possible? Sure. Crypto bull runs have seen absolutely inflated valuations. Axie was worth $25B peak bull 2021. But the change in market caps make some all time highs nearly impossible to achieve.
The strategy? Accumulate undervalued coins based on MARKET CAP, not price versus all time highs. Your success rate will be much higher.
Get “old all time highs” out of your vocabulary. And focus on the valuation and how much the coin can grow from here.

We’re building lots at Coinbase, but we don't have time to tackle everything. So I figured I'd share these. Bear markets are the best time for building - why not start today?
